Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government
Homelessness Issues: Discussion
Mr. John-Mark McCafferty:
We take a fairly pragmatic view, as in supply is absolutely key here. There is a preference for bricks and mortar provided by AHBs and local authorities. That said, just given how stark things are for tenants, which we are seeing every day – everyone around this table sees the lack of options available to tenants and their families who are faced with notices of termination, which do not result in a tenant in situarrangement sale - we just need to be very pragmatic about these things.
